I have two that I recently got. One built on a Tikka the other on a rem. They have exceeded my expectations in accuracy and velocity.
See the Tikka on custom rifles thread

GAP...EH1 stock, BDL bottom metal, 0.130 freebore. Have only played with 139 Scenars and 140 ELDMs and so far no surprises. Dropped a 3.5-15x50 NXS on it and clanking steel out to 1000 yds has been no problem.

My gunsmith hunting pard built me one on a Kimber 8400 WSM that Tanner had beat the crap out of. Thought I had a Rock Creek #2 barrel but it ended up 0.575” at the muzzle so I think it was their mountain contour. Shoots great, mag box is a hair over 3” so no worries with OAL. I’m gonna have him cut it back to somewhere between 18-20” so I can use the Ultra 7.

Seekins Havak PH1, NF SHV 3-10X42 moar, Warne Mnt Tac Rings....Shoots 139 scenars at 3050 FPS into little clusters but more importantly, is my go to rifle for anything I can hunt in Idaho or North America....If I ever draw my Idaho Moose Tag (Hopefully this is the year) this rifle is getting the call...From coyotes to moose and elk - best I can do on a 1 rifle, 1 bullet solution.

That Seekins is a nice rifle for sure, I suppose it will never be offered in a lefty version?

I was talking with Dave Kiff about the reamer spec’s on the 6.5 PRC and how close Brass if following it...
Dave was impressed and said the reamers were preforming very well.... if Dave is impressed, that doesn’t happen a lot so ... it’s making me look twice.

Nice Fotis....
Damn I’m going to have to build one now... I am still looking at a 7 SAUM that is killing it in F class, but that is hard to ignore.

I too have the CA Mesa in 6.5 PRC. It wears the Sig Whiskey BDX system scope and shoots 130 gr. Accubond handloads at 3100 fps and is sub .5 MOA when I do my part. I've stretched it out to 660 yards, but only on rocks at the lease. I killed two mouflon/barbado sheep at the lease at 272 yards with the 143 ELD-X last weekend of the season. That ELD-X did a lot of damage!

The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

Eldest daughter whacked a cull whitetail at 359 yards with the Precision Hunter factory load in an Impact/Foundation Revelation and PST genii. I gave her a bad hold but it took out both shoulders and spine before exiting. Did find some small pieces of jacket in the spine but I’d expect that.
Also tossed together a TL3 with a Proof prefit in a Manners mini chassis. Much more carry friendly and shoots the factory loads a good bit better than the Impact.
